“I don’t wish to sound fussy, but I really don’t care to discuss false teeth during dinner.”
Orange Tree Theatre Artistic Director Tom Littler directs Stephen Boxer, Emma Fielding and Tara Fitzgerald in a rediscovery of Coward’s trilogy.
In a luxury Swiss hotel suite in the 1960’s, three separate stories unfold:
A Song at Twilight is a full-length play about a famous elderly writer, reputedly based on Somerset Maugham, who faces blackmail at the hands of an ex-lover threatening to expose his secret past.
Shadows of the Evening and Come into the Garden, Maud form a perfect double-bill set in the same hotel suite. Shadows of the Evening explores the intricacies of a late-life love triangle, and Come into the Garden, Maud is a fizzing comedy about the misunderstandings between Americans and Europeans abroad.
Marking the 50th anniversary of Noël Coward’s death and the 125th of his birth, this is the first complete revival of Suite in Three Keys for a generation.
